seroquel dosing schedule

last week my stress was so high i felt like a nervous breakdown. my dr. prescribed seroquel 25 to 50 mg five days ago. for the first time i do not feel dpressed or anxiety. i stopped taking the valium when i started the seroquel. my valium has been a very high dose 60mg a day. will i get withdrawl symptoms from stopping the valium? when i started the seroquel 5 days ago i had a slight headache hardly anything. but now 5 days later my headache is very bad.

Does the regular Seroquel have to be taken twice a day? I take my morning dose and cannot stay awake; it's getting frustrating. If have I have to take it twice a day, does the drowsiness in the morning wear off after awhile?

morning 25mg seroquel, lunch 25 seroquel, supper 1mg stelazin, dinner 25mg seroquel+1mg risperidone before going to sleep). Today, when I posted (does mania come suddendly), for the 1st time, my stelazin didn't work it lasted only for 2 hrs and I started feeling the devil inside me like I want to kill someone, I also saw the devil in the mirror. I will be taking instead 50mg seroquel before going to bed, hoping to land again by tomorrow. However I discovered something new.

I still feel the electric shocks and muscle aches from the withdrawal of my previous antidepressant (paroxetine) and I started getting a pounding heartfrom the seroquel. I went to see my gp who reduced my seroquel to seroquel xl 50 mg and I am to go back in a week to her, while I do not see the psychiatrist again for 5 weeks. My palpitations have stopped but the mood swings and depression have returned to just how they were before I reduced the dose. I do not know what to do..

My grandmother is taking Diltiazem & Lasix in the morning and Seroquel (low dose) at night. She has become more irritable and seems depressed. Should she stop or reduce her medications?

re having withdrawal problems the thing to do would be to slow down the taper off -- the schedule should suit you, not some general schedule doctors use to make their lives easier. People differ on how difficult it is to stop a drug -- some have no problems, some moderate problems, some intractable problems. You seem to be having some mild problems so far.

I cold came off seroquel by my self I was on 600mg every day. It made me a walking zombie and well, it was time for me. I got soooooooooooooo sick. I could never be a addict cause comming off this med sucked I could only imagine comming off something more. Its dangerous comming of mood altering meds in the first place thats why ur doc slowly takes you off. Be patient and good luck.

Recommendation for missed PI dose is if within 4 hrs of normal dosing time to go ahead and take it and return to normal dosing schedule if more than 4 hrs skip it and return to normal dosing schedule

00 and one @4:00 Then I take 150mg @ bedtime. I also take 2/1mg of melotin to help with getting to sleep, this usually gives me 4 hours of sleep, I awaken and stay up about a hour and like a baby does I put myself back to sleep on a good night,sometimes I will take another 1mg melotin. Seroquel has been a god send for me that and kolopin. I am also a recovering addict of 24 years. I was at a NA meeting last night.I hope you are taking care of your recovery program.

I've read and read and talked and talked and even personally experimented with my own seroquel dosing. I'm a card carrying bipolar and typical of such folk have tried everything out there in pharm-world alone and in combination. For me, Seroquel is the ticket. I have one problem. A few years ago I made a move to a more healthy lifestyle which includes diet, exercise, yoga, and meditation - all good things. I even went back to work.

Depending on the dosing.... cold detox can bring on seizures. Contact your medicial Dr, tell them what you have done, and what you should do now....I beg you to seek medicial help with this.

does anyone have info about long term use of seroquel and how it affects you? my hubby tried to stop taking it and got all messed up. they are 50mg xr. thanks.

Hi everyone - We've had to delete quite a few posts lately about tapering. While it's ok to talk about it, we can't not allow people to give tapering schedules, dosing info, etc., as only a doctor can do that. Please read the top 2 posts in this forum for posting guidelines. Thanks for understanding.

30pm so confused whether it is day or night...

I have been prescribed seroquel "off-label" for sleep for a long time, but I dont like being on it because it really is powerful like being hit with a jackhammer and is hard to shake off the next day. It has a hangover effect. But it is the only thing that has worked for me with my sleep problems thus i have stayed on it. Also the side effects of weight gain and some other negative side effects are the reason I would love to get off of it.

I was on lexapro and warned by my doctor that it is on the "schedule c" list for use during pregnancy. I believe that means it is possible for it to have negative effects on the pregnancy. I was also on hydroxizine and seroquel. I stopped taking mine over a month ago as we had decided to try for one more baby and I was afraid of the possible effects. I have 3 kids but wasn't on any of these meds before or during those pregnancies. Not only that but seroquel can prevent pregnancy.

I get the sleep with the Seroquel that I was missing.,no longer watching the late news till I fell asleep. Seroquel is great for anxiety and I think Clonidine has helped that also. I have been diagnosed a manic depressive since age 17. I was a senior in high school when I flipped out. I lost a lot of friends after /during the mania that lasted several months. I felt really good and really started to talk, talking way too much. I thought anything was possible.

My doctor suggested monitoring for the first 24 hours after my first shot for when the onset of any side effects occured and then adjusting when i gave myself the shot so that the onset or most of the "WORST" of the sx occured while I was sleeping. So, if you get the shot at 11 am and at 5pm you start notcing sx then adjust the next time you get a shot so that you do it 6 hours before you'll be asleep.

The sleep pattern broken, finally dosing off for a few hours around 4am. I am highly succeptable to being in the 2-3 percentile on psychotrops that have adverse out of the normal reactions. Becuase it worked well to bring clarity to me at first, liked. Now with all these, can I attribute them to the drug or just getting off naturals? Oh also I am scared. I used to be years ago, wake up thinking something was in the room sort of thing. Anyone been here, done this?

I have lost quite a few inches but no real weight. I went off the Seroquel 2 weeks ago and continue my intense work out schedule, to date I have still not lost any weight. My calories are restricted to 1000 per day which I strictly maintain. So I ask WHY after all this work and dumping the Seoquel am I not loosing weight? I am even on Aderall 60mg. in the day which totally kills the appetite. I have to make myself eat 1000 calories a day. This drug screwed up my metabolism plain and simple.

How would this work as opposed to seroquel, and if you found that you were more stable at dosing more frequently than you have ever been in your life....what would make you want to switch? Benifits,......less long term damage? Would this also address anxiety or would you still need a drug for that?
